Soldier Tracking Solution

Protecting your Asset – The Soldier In today’s world the fear of being attacked by a neighboring country is less alarming as compared to the attacks launched by internal “enemies of the state“. Insurgents by whatever name you may call them, are using guerilla warfare methods to create panic and damage democratic systems. The main reason being that they know where the “good guys” are. In other words, we need a global counter-insurgent strategy. The important and vital role in containing any insurgency or extremism is played by the para military forces or the army soldier’s. Governments have realized that locals are not enthusiastic about taking up the jobs of special police or paramilitary because of fear.

There are many concerns regarding the safety of these soldiers that has to be looked into when they enter remote areas for special combing operations. As soon as any soldier enters the “enemy lines “it is very vital for the units base control centre to know the location as well as the status of all soldiers. Soldiers need to be equipped with suitable radio systems that will send GPS & other information at a fast rate to a base station without intervention but yet maintaining Radio Silence. The base station can then monitor the position of soldier from a tracking platform.

Soldier Tracking Platform

“Soldier Tracking Platform (STP) is the mobile base control station comprising of a “LATrack” receiver and the Soldier tracking software installed on a MIL grade computer. The STP oers a cost eective solution to track multiple soldiers and provides continuous data as to their location and orientation in a given operational area. The ST software provides customizable production of local area maps grabbed from Google Earth / Map or any Geo-Referenced images such as aerial photographs, raster / vector charts to set up the combat zone in a jiy. In addition the ST software has capabilities for Battle Tracking, exercise Command and Control and After Action Reviews (AAR). For the STP operator every soldier in the combat zone wearing a “LATrack” unit is seen on a virtual combateld on the software display.
Security is a key word today and being ”on-line” with all borders and water front is essential for the new world order. The tracking of small crafts have for several years already, been an aim of authorities worldwide. No cost eective fool proof solution has been found yet. A vessel or craft close to the coast is the immediate threat. Various technologies have been tried and apart from satellite tracking no other technology has succeeded. But then Satellite tracking is very expensive & position updates are inadequate for security. So is GSM which apart from being pricey is susceptible to network congestion and breakdowns. Inadequate reporting rates make tracking useless for security.

What is person tracking?

Person tracking is one of the topics which also can be made by the hardware by EIPL. Throughout all researched person tracking subtopics or applications, a special focus is always kept on real-time performance their usability in realistic, relatively unconstrained scenarios. The effect is that our tracking systems can be seamlessly integrated with other components and readily demonstrated in fully-functional live systems. The focus is put here on the determination of adequate, flexible features, the automatic, unsupervised creation of multi-view person models, and the accurate re-identification of persons under extremely challenging conditions.

It does not usually cover the concept of fishing for sport, and might be used when talking about the pressures between large scale modern commercial fishing practises and traditional methods, or when aid programs are targeted specifically at fishing at or near subsistence levels.

What can EIPL supply for Artisan fishing?

EIPL can supply a whole system for personal tracking, specially in areas where GSM (Mobile phone coverage) is not available. Based on VHF TDMA principles there can be monitored Security areas with its personal in a “closed” area surrounding.

For closed user group applications on land EIPL can supply the following hardware:

Equipment is ecomomic, but high tech.

No monthly recurring costs.

No cost per message.

High radiated power that minimum range is guarantied

Rechargeable battery powered

Variable reporting rates

Autonomous reporting

Tracking for Security
Note that a system designed for security tracking can still be used for management – it will provide more than enough data for management, plus some other features
